Job Summary

Happy Nest Nanny & Maternity Agency is delighted to be helping a warm and welcoming family in Teddington find an experienced, reliable and engaging part-time after-school nanny.

The family has three school-aged children: two girls aged 12 and 10 and a boy aged 8. Due to shared-care arrangements, the role will predominantly focus on the two younger children.

The girls enjoy dance, fashion, make-up and arts and crafts, while their younger brother has bags of energy and loves nature, outdoor activities, sport and football. The family is seeking someone who will take a genuine interest in the children, encourage their individual interests and provide a reassuring, consistent presence after school.

The Role

Working Monday to Thursday from 4.00pm to 7.00pm, the nanny will manage school collections and the children's evening routine. One school is approximately a seven-minute walk from home in Teddington, while the other is around a seven-minute drive away in Twickenham.

Responsibilities will include:

Collecting the children safely from school

Preparing simple, nutritious meals

Helping with homework when needed

Encouraging activities, games, crafts, outdoor play and sport

Supporting a calm, organised after-school routine

Occasionally feeding the family's two cats

A full driving licence and confidence driving children are essential. An own car is preferred, but a family car can be provided for the right nanny. Agreed work-related mileage in the nanny's own car is reimbursed at 55p per mile.

The family appreciates that after-school roles require flexibility and is willing to offer a competitive rate. The anticipated salary is £20–£25 gross per hour, with a higher rate considered for an exceptional long-term candidate. Some additional morning or later evening hours may also be available by arrangement.
